Barbicide™ is the industry-standard disinfectant for hair salons, barbershops, nail studios, & spas to sanitize combs, scissors, razors, clippers, & manicure tools. It is a quaternary ammonium compound (“quat”) concentrate typically diluted to 6,000-10,000 ppm for immersion jars and cleaning stations. Indigo® 0–10,000 ppm quat test strips can ensure your Barbicide™ solution is at the correct strength for bacterial, fungal, and viral disinfection, protecting clients and meeting state cosmetology board regulations.

Dip strip & remove for immediate readings at 1000-2500-5000-10000 ppm for quaternary ammonium disinfectant concentration. Read strip results immediately. If you wait the 30 seconds needed for some other strips you will get a reading that is too high.
